Donald Trump was interviewed by Birdie Meredith Vieira on the Today show this morning about his presidential candidacy (I know, right?) and HOLY MOLY this guy can’t put four words together to complete his first insane tangential response to a question he wasn’t even asked before he’s off on another insane tangential response to something else. It’s actually kind of amazing. Is he on methamphetamines? Did Jesse Pinkman slip some methamphetamines into his morning glass of liquid gold?

WINNING, DUH, BUH BYE! Wait, serious question: is Donald Trump sick? Like, brain sickness? Is he? He might be. And that would help explain a lot. What is even going on here? Let’s all agree that his fake-embarrassed bragging about Celebrity Apprentice (as the reason why he can’t…run for president?) is INSANE but even more insane is his completely unfounded “birther” argument filled with so many strawmen that it is a fire hazard (ding dong, I’m sorry). Seriously, though, in addition to the birther thing being both nonsense AND racist, you can’t just claim that Barack Obama wasn’t born in this country because you “have people looking into it.” What? ON EARTH? But easily my favorite part of the entire interview comes right after him talking about how Barack Obama never made any deals and was not a “dealman” (unlike all of our other famous “dealman” presidents? Also what is a “dealman”?) But oh man, when Meredith asks him how HE would resolve the current budget impasse that threatens to shut down the government and he says: “I’d get everybody together and we’d have a budget.” That is THE BEST. I take it all back. Good President. Can I vote for him twice?

  1. “MY IMPEACHMENT WILL BE THE CLASSIEST, MOST LUXURIOUS IMPEACHMENT THIS NATION HAS EVER SEEN! YOU’RE FIRED, CONGRESS!” — President Donald Trump, 2013

  2. Donald Trump would be a terrible president. Donald Glover on the other hand….

  3. Looking at the Celebrity Apprentice lineup, I shudder to think what his cabinet would look like.

    “Madame Secretary of State, Nene Somethingorother, from Atlanta.”

  4. Obama doesn’t have a doctrine, and that’s a bad thing? Because what the world needs now is an inflexible doctrinaire in the White House. Worked out great last time.

  5. Dear President Obama,
    Have you tried getting all the congresspeople together in one room to try to pass a budget? Just a thought.
    Love,
    Superglue

  6. Trump does have something over the other potential candidates. Most people have to run for president BEFORE they become a punchline, but he’s already there. TRUMP 2012!!!!!

  7. Trump is #1 among tea baggers? Yet more evidence of how misguided these loonies are.

  8. Methamphetamine is a cool Eyehategod song.

  9. In case anyone forgot; this is a guy who was on WWE…. “Here’s your steel chair Mr. President.”

  10. Laugh if you will, but looking into Obama’s place of birth for Donald Trump is a pretty sweet gig! It’s certainly a step up from being in his Double Stuffed Oreo League pit crew.

  11. you guys remember that movie “dave” with kevin kline?

  12. But seriously folks, he is still a better choice than Michele Bachmann.

  13. “This country is going to hell.” -Trump 2012

  14. Whoa, whoa, whoa, did this guy just insinuate Lincoln was better than Reagan? That is a bridge too far, sir.

  15. “I think I connect with people because I’m smart. I have a lot of common sense.”

    When has this ever been a prerequisite for people liking a political candidate?

    • Dood, he’s got a lot of common sense though. Like he had the foresight not to go on a wrestling show because he knew he was going to run for president. And by “foresight not to go on” I mean to say that he WENT ON A WRESTLING SHOW!

  16. Well I must admit I hope he makes it at least to the debates… I mean, he’ll be referencing Bret Michaels from a podium made of solid gold. Top THAT, Obama.

  17. I had to stop at him calling the Libyan rebels Al Qaeda and backed by Iran.

    I don’t think my boss would appreciate having to buy me a new computer because I shoved my fist through the current one.

  18. gabe, there’s a term for “ake-embarrassed brag.” it’s a #humebrag.

  19. I don’t think that hair was even born in America. Where’s the certificate, HAIR!? Where is it?!?

  20. the sad thing is people will probably vote for him because he’ll be the only one with a recognizable name.

    sometimes the movie Idiocracy hits too close to home.

  21. It’s reassuring to know that being the host of celebrity apprentice gives you qualifications needed to be president.

  22. Uh… Could we back it up to :42 and ask ourselves if he’s wearing a clown tie?

  23. You Guys, he’s right, we have yooj deficits, yooj unemployment, and yooj problem. He is gonna have yooj success as president.

  24. “They won’t be laughing if I’m President.” Riighhhht….

  25. In two minutes of that video all I got was that he was serious about oil.

  26. Seriously? Seriously.

  27. Bill Cosby’s reaction to Donald Trump’s interview was even better than Trump’s interview:

  28. This is simply awesome:

    “Right now, the world laughs at us. They won’t be laughing if I’m elected President.”

    I LOVE IT!!!!!

  29. He is one to talk about spending money like a drunken sailor! He has filed for bankruptcy twice for his casino operations. And everyone knows how extravagantly he lives.

  30. And is it really a rule that you cannot declare your canidacy if you’re currently on a tv show? How could the founding fathers have forseen that?

  31. “They (the world) won’t be laughing if I am president” -Trump

    “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH” -the world

  32. Trump is actually pretty close to my favorite write-in vote candidate:

  33. Donald Trump needs to shut his ugly face, as Bill Cosby said, stop running your mouth and act!
